I follow Tommy Smythe on Facebook, and a couple weeks ago he posted a tea towel he'd designed for Ulster Weavers that was for sale at The Bay. (Here!). I thought it would make some great kitchen art, so I clicked & bought one.

Last weekend I took a trip to Ikea and bought a Ribba frame. I had to un-stitch the factory hems so it would fill the opening, but after that it fit perfectly!

I hung it with 3M command strips and two hangers. I didn't want to damage the fridge gable by using a nail or hook. So far, so good!

(I could not leave that cardigan in the store. When we went to feast our eyes at Anthro, the day was a bit cool and I just needed a sweater to wear in the air conditioned store. This was the first one I saw, but when I put it on I LOVED it! Since sometimes it's hard to justify buying anything in Anthro at full price, I put it on hold. I went back for it later in the day, and am glad I did!)

I'm going to have to start repeating items now, because as per anyone's closet (right?) I have more tops than pants. Also, check out my casual leaning pose AND be aware that this shot only took me 12 tries! I'm getting awesome at this self timer thing! Haha.

I just got back from Palm Springs you guys. It was great, just not as hot as I would have liked! We shopped, ate, enjoyed the sun. As I wear my new wardrobe I'll fashion show it on the blog a la last year!

But I'm not posting about that today. I'm posting about two other upcoming adventures that I am getting excited about. Last week Dan & I went to update our vaccinations because we'll be doing some international travelling in the next 7 months.

First up, Belize. Oh man I can't wait! My family decided to skip out on Christmas in Canada this year and instead head to Belize for a week in February! This will be a totally new kind of holiday for 2/3 of my family (Dan & I have done a couple beach vacations before and enjoyed them). I'm excited!

Next, and more adventuresome I think, I will be going to Costa Rica in May! What??? You may have noticed that there are two new tabs up there at the top of this blog. One is called Operation Christmas Child, and one is called OCC Sponsorship Page . I am going to Costa Rica with Samaritan's Purse on one of their OCC Ambassador teams.
